Bought this at a farmer's market, the farmer told me what it was, then we proceeded to have an enjoyable conversation about potatoes (of course!) and apples, etc.  Got in the car, drove home, and then could not remember for wife what it was.  Its not just cabbage.  My turn for dinner tomorrow night, hoping the cooler can bail me out.

 

 

Looks like a Swiss Chard to me QSS. No good for roasting though 🙂 

[Lois R]

Davey, I think you might be right.  It does look like Swiss Chard.

 

Good morning everyone.

Thanks for all the help on the unidentified vegetable, I googled every suggestion and the pictures always matched.  There must be some differences apart from appearance between them, hopefully not critical in the chicken cabbage soup I'll make tonight.  Store bought yesterday fresh sourdough bread on the side.

 

The Thai salad sounded intriguing, but didn't have the ingredients on hand.  We're overdue for some Thai cuisine here.

We have a thai restaurant just across the street. Went there last week, had some curry stuff.

In the USA, starting the count-down to Thursday and our Thanksgiving Day.  BUT, we are mostly locked-down.  Our son, his wife and two grandsons were planning to come up for this period from their home in Virginia.  That, however, has been scrubbed due to the Covid numbers rising, etc.  Sad to miss that family fun, but we want to stay safe and healthy.  

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

Hi Terry, sorry you won't see the kids but glad to know you are following what is best.   I am sure you will zoom with them,  right?🙂

 

I was reading this morning it said 1 out of 3 parents said it would be worth it to travel even with this large outbreak.....so does that mean 2 out of 3 parents

know it is not the right thing to do?

Same here.  For the 4 kids in the immediate area, we are going to try a takeout version of pot luck dinner.  Drop off or pick up food at our house between 1 and 2, take what you want home with you and heat it up there, get the visit done in 15 minutes or less, wear mask except for the little tykes.  Made certain they knew totally ok to skip: two accepted, 2 declined.  For the families in Charlottesville and Chicago, no get togethers at all, but as Lois suggests, we are setting up a zoom with the Chicago branch.

[Lois R]

Hope all of you have fun zooming with your families!🙂 Glad you are all being safe!!!!!!

We only have two so I'm guessing the visit and the tequila will be no go's.  🤣

[Lois R]

It does not apply to me all...........no kids here.

Me neither, but I've been bribing my nieces and nephews for years!

[Lois R]

Hi JP,  we all have such different types of families.  I have one nephew but never see him

anymore.......I have no clue what he and his wife are doing these days.

Sorry to be late to the party, but the photo of a leafy vegetable?  Bok choy.  It has very distinctive heavy, ribbed stalk on each leaf.  Great in stir fries, soups.  The stalk part is typically not at all stringy or tough, and has a nice flavor.  Easy to grow, and at least in our part of the planet, bugs don't bother it much.   (Of course, we have 12 hens who patrol the garden, always on the look out for a bug to eat.)
